Turtle "ice" wax I will try to get pictures up later..*my girl has the camera* but guys! You are looking at another happy customer with this product, I used the ice wax today to wax my black 02 1SC. Now my car doesnt have the best paint job going right now, there are minor spots of the clear peeling, a few chips, what youd expect from an almost 10yr old car. I applied it after washing and drying the car, in direct sunlight, followed the instructions to apply a light coat over the whole car and let stand for about 10 minutes. while I was waiting I cleaned my windows and applied tire shine. Then I took the microfiber towel that comes with the "kit" and started wiping off the wax, and as soon as I started wiping I could feel the "smoothness" of the wax. All in all it took me about an hr from start to finish, but the results are def worth this product, so those thinking about using I would highly recommend it....HAPPY 4th, now beer time

I also use it after washes. It keeps the cars cleaner alot longer and water just beads off it. Does make feel alot smoother too. Also they have a clay bar kit that works well before you wax it.

I love it as a booster wax. Goes on incredibly quickly and easily, but I wouldn't use it as the only LSP because the durability isn't so hot. The beading it creates is unreal though.
It also is great for applying to black trim.

I think Turtle Wax Ice is GARBAGE, It turned yellow inside the bottle with the cap on, inside my garage with no direct sunlight. It will never touch my car again

If you're into OTC waxes (like me) I recommend Meg's NXT 2.0 paste wax.

I've got a can of ICE Paste wax (not polish) that I've never opened. They're still $15 @ Advance Auto but my wife picked it up at Target for $5. Right now I use (in this order in the same day) Meguiar's mirror glaze panel-by-panel with no cure time, Meg's Tech Wax 2.0 (2 hour cure), Meg's Hi-Tech Yellow #26 (2 hour cure), and then I go over the car again lightly with Meg's Ultimate Quick Detailer to make sure there are no streaks. I was thinking of working the ICE in the mix but my process works, so why mess with it? lol

yeah guys I know everyone uses meguiars mostly, and I do too, but after doing some research and some posting that the 2.0 was also "garbage" I decided to run this "wax", I agree that there are probably better and more prefered waxes out, but I heard good things, and I'm pleased with the results yielded. when it comes time to use something for an all out detail I will be using the M105, and the M205, but for a middle of the road product it came out great, and here a few days later its still shinny and slippery

nightwinddriftr, Ive also heard about how the 2.0 leaves a dull looking film over the car, this was someone that did IIRC a 30hr detail on the car, again for the real deal stuff it will be meguiars
